[The adhesive properties of salmonellae in the dynamics of the infectious process]. / Adgezivnye svoistva sal'monell v dinamike infektsionnogo protsessa.

In patients with toxic infections salmonellae were identified in 31% of cases. The patients were divided into two groups: the control group receiving treatment with infusion solutions and the test group treated, in addition to the usual scheme of therapy, with indomethacin in a daily dose of 150 mg. The study revealed that salmonellae isolated at the initial stages of the disease possessed highly pronounced adhesive properties. The adhesive properties of salmonellae isolated at the stage of convalescence from the patients of the test group were considerably less pronounced than those of salmonellae isolated from the same patients at the peak of the disease. In the control group no differences in the adhesive properties of salmonellae isolated from the same patients were established.
